This will make those people more complacent, careless and forgetful. and when they least suspect it, Allah will take away their lives. And they will die in a very bad state the su'ul khatimah. this is what the Ulama termed as "Istidraj".<br /><br />Allah states in Surah Al-An'am, verse 44:<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">"So, when they forgot the warning with which they had been reminded, We opened for them the gates of every pleasant things, until in the midst of their enjoyment in that which they were given, all of a sudden We took them. They were plunged into destruction with deep regrets and sorrows." <br /></span><br />This is intended to be a reminder for myself to always express syukur, verily, He is the owner of everything. and everything that happens it is with His permission. <br /><br />"Alluhumma khtimlana bihusnil khatimah, wa la takhtimlana bisuu il khatimah.
